Insurance

Payment will be paid by the client at the end of each session, and for your convenience, there is an automated bank-transfer machine in our office.  Most health insurance companies compensate for our treatment, so please save your receipts to present to your insurance company for reimbursement.  A list of NVST companies can be found on the “Contact” page of our website.

Diagnosis and first session

Unlike subsequent treatments lasting about one hour, the first session will take around one-and-a-half hours, during which the therapist will gently explore the responses to pressure points in order to determine the client’s condition and determine the best approach to beginning treatment. 

It is necessary that the client be comfortable and relaxed before and during each session.  The bowels and bladder should be empty and no food, water or stimulating beverages ingested for a half-hour prior to treatment.   Therapist and client decide the most effective working position: traditional Japanese floor futon, massage table or massage chair.

After the initial treatment, the therapist will comprehend the best approach to leading the body back into balance, thus allowing it to begin the process of self-healing.  Drinking a good quantity of water will help flush out built-up toxins. The therapist now will advise the client of his findings and recommendation for continued treatments.

Clothing

Easily removable footwear with socks is recommended.  And, as the therapist works through it, clothing should be loose and light, thin workout clothes being the best.
